That's chemical fires isn't it?

Flammable liquids, petrols and spirits mainly.

Just found this fairly useful guide here:

I have to run through the thick smoke from my bedroom to the kitchen. It's pretty crazy to see the fire itself and the first thing in my mind is "Well, it's on fire."

Not 'Oh, my beer's getting warm'! :hmmm:

Well, It's not my beer obviously :doh:.

Glad the both of you were unharmed. Me and the Frau had a similar experience 3 years ago, though it was a fully developed fire in the neighboring appartment, it was a pretty close call to make it out of the house.

Now we always laugh at films where the hero runs through burning buildings, with clear sight and some little gray smoke... :DL

And one cannot emphasize enough the importance of smoke detectors - get one folks!

Like everyone else I'm glad no one was hurt. :sunny:

Learn from it... stop the bugga drinking :o

Well, we got the new stove/oven and the kitchen floor replaced with brick-like textures, which it obliviously looks nice than the old one. Yet, they still haven't working on the counter that they removed it. :shifty:

You'll get there...these things can take time :yep:
